I have been tagged...like "you're it" by Claudia for a fun MeMe...Here are the rules: "The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves.At the end of the post,the player then tags 5 people and posts their names,then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment,letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer."
1)What was I doing 10 years ago?
At the risk of sounding boring,I was doing much of the same.Well, actually I was not working at that time.I had taken some time off from my nursing career.I was recuperating from a major surgery.It was a nice time really. I got to explore with my friends...travelling to the Midwest in search of folk art primitives...I was making a lot of quilts and working on primitive type hooked rugs. I had an opportunity at that time to meet and learn from some famous designers in their field Barbara Carrolland Emma Lou Lais.

2)What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?

It is 8pm here...the only thing I have left to do today is call my brother John and wish him a Happy Birthday,tomorrow however,I have to pick up my daughter and the girls(because her vehicle is on the fritz)...transport all to dance class...return a skein of yarn,rather exchange it for another to make this... and the weeds in my garden are in terrible need of attention-so they will be gone tomorrow...I really should be working on my niece's shrug May...

3)Snacks I enjoy:

There is probably a long list of not so good for you things that I will snack on once in awhile,but what I really could live on are NUTS,almonds,pecans and walnuts being my favorites.You can add soy nuts to that,too. I like fresh fruit and cheese as a snack...white Vermont sharp cheddar,and fresh berries...any berry will do,but blackberries take first place ...now I am hungry!

4)Things I would do if I were a Billionaire:

I'm sure my family would come first...especially making sure all the girls had college funding set aside...I know I would travel,probably to England,Japan and any coastline with a beautiful beach...I would probably open my own shop...knitting ,woollens and primitives...all in a pleasing array...

5)Places I have lived:

I am a Pennsylvania girl born and raised. I haven't strayed very far from home,in fact I still live in the city where I was born and raised. I lived about an hour away here while studying nursing...boring,huh?

6)Jobs I have had:

It's funny I am asked this question...I was thinking today that the only jobs I have had are in nursing...I was never a waitress,I never worked retail,I never worked while I was in school...you're thinking what I sheltered life I've led,right? I am a wife and mother to a wonderful daughter and son...and I do consider this as a job...unpaid,but a job none the less...

My sister and I did take over my brother's paper route for a while,when my parents found out he was spending the collection money...we actually did a good job!

7) Bloggers I am tagging who you will enjoy getting to know better:

Nicole , (happy mama of 3) a young mama with some fresh ideas;Kimberly-(the giving flower),a new friend..

Janet (twisted knitter)a flickr friend with a lot to share; Alison( 6.5 stitches )who does the most incredible knitting..and her photos are outstanding...

andKate (knitter gal) anotherflickrfriend with a great sense of humor...

Another fun game I recently played was Survivor..not actually on television,but on Ravelry,and if you are not a member,you must join this wonderful online knitting community...the winner of Survivor,in this case the member of the group who was playing as the survivor would win prizes/gifts from the other members.Guess who won-yep-ME (from group1)...I could not believe it,and hey,who wouldn't like receiving some pretty neat gifts from some new friends...

Thanks for sharing a little about yourself! I'm a big nut fan too - I believe you and I are called "nutters." I eat raw walnuts every morning along with an apple and bowl of oatmeal. I love the lion washcloth - it's so cute. Congratulations on winning Survivor - that looks like a fun group to be in.

"For now she need not think about anybody.She could be herself. And that was what now ,she often felt the need of-to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated...Although she continued to KNIT, and sat upright, it was thus that she felt herself; and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures."
